Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Job Title:Software Engineer

Location:London
Department:Technology

Department Overview:

The data technology team is responsible for building out the business’ big data platforms on which all portfolio managers run analysis when developing trading strategies. This team sits within the front office technology and quant research department, whose sole function is to build in-house centralized front office pricing, risk, and data analysis tools used by all portfolio managers and desk analysts.

Role Overview:

As Blue Crest continues to expand its trading presence globally, there is a desire to build out more sophisticated quantitative and data solutions that enable desk analysts to work more efficiently across a wider selection of asset classes. The quantity and quality of data become increasingly important, so we look to expand the data team, seeking a developer with strong programming and database skills. In addition to performing technical enhancements to improve the platform, all projects are performed in conjunction with the front office, making data quality understanding essential.

This is an exciting opportunity to work for one of the strongest performing funds in the world, supporting and building out solutions in collaboration with trading. The successful candidate will gain experience in all financial markets and work with some of the best traders, technologists, and quant researchers in the world. The role will require strong database, mathematical, and programming skills, with APIs being written in C#. This is an excellent opportunity for a delivery-focused individual with solid analytical skills and a passion for technology and financial markets to work directly on trading desk enhancements without any bureaucracy or politics.

The data team sits within the front office technology and quant research department, so successful candidates will have the opportunity to rotate around the department and try different aspects of front office quantitative development. Additionally, they can build relationships with trading that often lead to desk-based opportunities.

Experience Required:

  • Experience working in C# or another object-oriented language
  • Exposure to SQL

About You:

In this role, you must be self-motivated and able to learn quickly. This is a highly technical role, requiring the ability to understand object-oriented programming and how to build reusable functions within the core data and quant library frameworks. The candidate should be comfortable with the full software development lifecycle and demonstrate adherence to best practices in all areas of their work.

Delivery is key in this role, as is the ability to balance rapid BAU change while progressing with longer-term strategic development.

BlueCrest is committed to providing an inclusive environment for its workforce. As an employer, we provide equal opportunities to all people regardless of their gender, marital or civil partnership status, race, religion or ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or nationality.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
